Mining for Warpstone Chaos Demons/Deamons Part 4 Giddy up!

Part 4 of this
series stays with the lesser demons and gets them some wheels, or better put,
hooves. I read about the Bloodcrusher unit in ROC but I honestly don?t
remember every seeing Juggernaut models packaged with anything other than chaos
warrior riders.

The 1989 Orange Catalogue has the ROC Juggernauts of
Khorne listing but doesn't show any Bloodletter riders.

The 1991 Red
Catalogue has a different listing titled Chaos Juggernauts. As you can see
from the picture a different mix, one less head, one less banner pole, and
three Bloodletter rider bodies. To be honest these look very similar to
the regular bodies but I do have to say the stock numbers are different.
And surprisingly enough, no listing for the upper torso's for the chaos warriors!
Not sure if anyone can confirm that they were packaged together here in the
US. Regardless I had to have some so I set about collecting Juggernauts
over the years and grabbing the odd bloodletter or two as riders.
Eventually I ended up with the requisite eight to form a unit.

I went a bit over
the top with the conversions on these guys. The leader is actually a
conversion with the head from a 2nd version leader. I still have some
work to do on them like adding pennants and flags but these are one of my
favorite units that I've ever worked on.

One thing I would like to ask
the community about. I have all the possible combinations of Juggernaut
parts except for this head from the Orange 88 catalogue.

Again, not sure
if it was ever released in the US but I'd like to get my hands on one. If
you have one or a whole model I would love to discuss a possible trade just let
me know!

About Me

I'm a late 40's gamer that grew up in the golden age of miniatures and RPGs in the 80's. I cut my teeth on the likes of TSR's 2nd edition D&D and AD&D, SJG's pocket editions of OGRE and Car Wars and the glorious 3rd edition of Warhammer Fantasy Battle and Rogue Trader from GWS. Long live the games and hair metal of the 80's!
